Yes. A candidate could get a bare plurality (can be less than 50% if more than two candidates) in enough states to get 270 electoral votes, and no votes in the rest of the states. Furthermore, if getting them in small states, e.g., Wyoming or Vermont, where each electoral vote represent a population of about 200 thousand, versus large states, e.g., California & Texas, where each vote represent about 620 thousand, it might theoretical be possible to win the presidency with a lot less than 26% of the overall vote.BUT IT WILL NOT HAPPEN!!!

I'd like very much to believe this poll. But I saw another one that was more favorable to smirky. It's hard for me to believe that his very likely numbers are down to 33 per cent. Remember that there are a lot of repugnanticans out there who are going to vote for him no matter how blatant his lies are shown to be. And while it's distasteful, their numbers alone are probably better than the 33% figure here.

Thank God. I do not really understand how anybody could vote for George "Dubya" Bush. I mean, all of the lies that he has spilled out, it is incredible. The simple viewing of the facts will prove that this whole Iraq war was based on lies. In my opinion, if the deaths of American soldiers continue, then that "very likely" to reelect Bush option will sink even lower. I really hope that Bush does not get reelected and although I do not like the democratic party right now, ANYTHING is better than Dubya.

Some reasons that Dubya should not be re-elected:

1. He was not elected in the first place

2. He lied about the War in Iraq

3. He is putting American soldiers in Iraq in harms way needlessly for his own personal gains.

4. He is a hypocrite for going completely back on his campagin platform.

5. He is a liar.

6. He does not represent the American people in a statesmanlike manner. I mean, I disagree with a VAST majority of his policies, but the president should at least look like a statesman on TV and when meeting other foriegn leaders.
